Difference between the Indexes

This article provides information about  what the differences are between an Index: Update and a Index: Create and when they run.

The Index: Update reindexes new data that has either been added to or amended in the Profile database since the last time a reindex was run.

The Index: Create completely recreates the Profile indexes.

By default, there are 3 different Index tasks on Profile. There are 2 Updates and 1 Create.

  • The Update that runs hourly will reindex the _quick indexes.

  • The Update that runs daily will reindex all indexes.

  • The Create that runs weekly will recreate the indexes.

📌 Note: Please be aware that the above information is the default setup for a new Profile database. This may differ if your Index scheduled tasks have been specifically configured for your organisation.
